Question:

A and started a business investing amounts of ₹92,500 and ₹1,12.500, respectively. If B’s share in the profit earned by them is ₹9,000, what is the profit (in ₹ )earned by A?

Options:

9,000

10,000

7,400

11,240

Correct Answer:

7,400

Explanation:

Let the profit earned by A=  Rs. X

According to the question,

\(\frac{92500}{112500}\) = \(\frac{X}{9000}\) 

 X = \(\frac{92500 × 9000 }{112500}\)

 X =  37 × 200

 X = 7400

So ,  The profit earned by A = Rs. 7400
